Horizontal step in elevation.. you never know!!

Anonymous — Thu, 25 May 2023 16:14:17 GMT

Sorry me again,
I really do search for answers before I post............mostly

Is it possible to get a vertical step in the section elevation?
Like the step you can put in on the horizontal section plane..

I have a staircase that I would like to get a full front elevation of but there is a bulkhead over the stair so my cutting plane will either:
loose the first few steps,
or
If I come back a bit with the cutting plane I will get the external elevation from FF level upwards.

If I could step this cutting plane, as in the red line in the image, it would solve my problems..

Thx

Tony

Don't think so. But it's easy to create two sections, one for the lower part, one for the upper, and join them in a layout.

Good idea Thomas.

Another way would be to use a layer combination in section that has the bulkhead turned off.

Yeah, but the bulkhead wasn't the question, it was the reason... or I'm just being picky

OK thanks for the responses guys.
I will use the conjoined section approach I think... I find keeping on top of the layers isn't my strong point at the moment.. but thanks for the input..

Hi Tony,

I assume you are printing from a layout - in which case, all you need to do is use a polygonal clipping frame on the layout to hide the bulkhead...if I understand your screenshot and red line correctly.

Just edit the initially-rectangular drawing frame using the pet palette's polygon tools to create any cookie cutter shape you want.

If I misunderstood and you want to see both, but to have the stairs cut at one place and the bulkhead at another, then Thomas' answer is the way to go.

Cheers,
Karl

Karl, if he does that, he'll also hide the uppermost three of four steps of the staircase. If the screenshot I see is correctly lined up.

So if hiding the bulkhead is all he needs, I guess s2art's layer combination tip is a better way.

Not better, just different. Whatever floats your boat.
